to think this rather odd

[hairytriangle]

Not only did my colleague insist on describing her intimate waxing session at the salon whilst I was eating my lunch, but she also said 'you should think about it for when you give birth'. (I've told her in the past I don't think I will ever get waxed by another person 'down there')

Why???? Firstly, do midwives and doctors really care about whether you are hairy or not and secondly, I'm sure the way I look 'down there' will be the last thing on my mind.

YANBU.

Next time ask your friend to not discuss things like that when you are eating.

Very apt thread for your username

Apparently it hurts more when you are pregnant, and I don't think they advise it> You will not give a flying fuck how hairy you are down there while giving birth, so I'd leave well alone!

YANBU and waxing is meant to be loads more painful when you're pregnant.

I couldn't even see my lady bits in the last couple of months of pregnancy so was probably like a jungle down there but I couldn't have cared less!

I take it she hasn't had kids. The state of my muff was the last thing on my mind.

I thought most people did nothing with that area before birth. I certainly did nothing. It's not about your vagina. It's about the baby.

I was waxed a couple of days before dd was born and I can tell you right now - I will be a wild bush woman when DC2 is born! It was incredibly painful and I have been waxed before. I don't know why it hurt more than usual, but it did.

Banging she's had two [is there an 'even more confused' smiley on here?] - LOL

Oh gosh. She's clearly mad then. Never speak to her again, over sandwiches or otherwise.

I think they were both C section though (unsure). She does seem to LOVE telling me about her waxing

do NOT have bikini waxing while pregnant!

I used to have it done regularly and thought it would be nice for my honeymoon while 4 months pregnant. It hurt so much she only did one strip and it was too painful to go on, I wouldn't even let her even up the otherside. DH thought it was hilarious!

I'm sure midwives don't care!

Maybe she wants you to ask to look?

"It's not about your vagina. It's about the baby." Made me LOL.

Waxing was the last thing on my mind too.

Banging EW!!!!!!!

Jesus the last thing I cared about when giving birth was what the midwife / Drs thought! Far too busy giving birth.

I had my legs done at about four months pregnant. The pain prepared me for birth.
Seriously don't do it.

I had my legs and bikini waxed every six weeks throughout both pregnancies and booked myself in both times for a few days before due date to make sure my timing was right. I know it's not a high priority when it comes to the day itself, but hey...it's the only time in my life that my fanjo will have a public audience

I gave birth on all fours so MW´s view was mainly of my bum anyway!

'It's not about your vagina. It's about the baby'

clearly it's about both-or did you not take biology?

Ok oldinboden. Point taken. Let me rephrase. It's not about what your vagina looks like. It's about delivery and the baby. :) better?

Actually, oldinboden and StarExpat he vagina is the tunnel that the baby comes through. The vulva is the part that is hairy.

So lets get this straight, your colleague thought that in order for hospital staff not to see your fanjo in its natural condition, you should show it to someone else first instead? And that is better how exactly???

FGS they have seen many many many fanjos and despite your username I am sure yours won't be unusually hairy :)

Oh dear, I'm absolutely the last person who should comment on this.
Agree with Ginger :)
